Drive-Thru Pneumatic Tube Systems for Pharmacies
A Comco pneumatic tube system at the outer lane sends prescriptions and payments to the pharmacist’s station, so the pharmacy adds drive-thru capacity without adding a window or staff. Comco designs, manufactures, and installs turnkey pharmacy solutions, and services every brand of pneumatic tube system.

What Our Pharmacy Customers Say
Pharmacy Drive-Thru FAQs
Answers to the questions pharmacy owners, store planners, and facilities teams ask most.
Can a pneumatic tube serve a second drive-thru lane?
Yes. A customer unit at the outer lane sends the carrier to the pharmacist’s station, so one pharmacist handles both lanes.
Can Comco replace an existing pharmacy drive-thru system?
Yes. Comco can replace any manufacturer’s drive-thru system with a Comco system of the same carrier size. Our engineers review your drawings before quoting.
What fits in a carrier?
It depends on carrier size. Comco units take 4 in., 4.5 in., 4 x 7 in., and 6 in. carriers. The 4 x 7 in. carrier is the standard for most pharmacies and can accommodate over 95% of medications.
Do you supply narcotics storage?
Yes. Comco narcotics lockers have seven roll-out shelves, removable trays, and two-point locking. TL-15 and TL-30 safes are also available.
Do you service other brands?
Yes. Comco services pneumatic and drive-thru equipment from other manufacturers. Our technicians are cross-trained on all common systems.
Do you service systems nationwide?
Yes. Comco services pneumatic tube systems in all 50 states, with emergency response in under 4 hours in most regions.
Do you work with store design and construction teams?
Yes. Comco provides CAD blocks, cut sheets, and 3-part CSI specifications before construction starts.
How long does an install take?
Install can take anywhere from 1 day for single lane systems to several days for multi-lane systems. New builds will often require two-phases for roughing-in materials and returning to finalize and mount the remaining equipment.
